Russia vetoes UN resolution calling for immediate cease-fire in Sudan conflict
ai generated text
The UN Security Council attempted to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Sudan's military and paramilitary forces. The resolution was sponsored by the UK and Sierra Leone, and received the support of China, Russia's ally. However, Russia vetoed the resolution, which was necessary for its passage due to the council's veto power rules. The UK has condemned Russia's decision, with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy labeling it "a disgrace" and stating that it reveals Russia's "true colors".
On Sudan, we're seeing one of the world's most serious humanitarian crises — eight million people on the brink of famine.
How many more Sudanese have to be killed, how many more women have to be raped, how many more children have to go without food before Russia will act? Russia will have to explain itself to the entire United Nations membership now.
One country is the enemy of peace. This Russian veto is a disgrace, and it shows to the world yet again Russia's true colors.
This Russian veto is a disgrace. … While Britain works with our African partners, Russia vetoes their will.
One country stood in the way of the council speaking with one voice. One country is the blocker.
They claim it is because of Sudanese sovereignty. But Sudan supports the resolution.
It is shocking that Russia has vetoed an effort to save lives – though perhaps, it shouldn't be.
